Tasting notes
The floral-scented, fat 1999 Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone white is one-dimensional, but concentrated. When I asked Francoise Reynaud what she likes to eat with this wine, she said "I prefer it as an aperitif." Maybe that's its true calling in life.

About the producer

Ch. Rayas is a cult name in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines – pure, silken expressions of Grenache with distinctive perfume – are revered for their singularity and fiercely collected. Made by Emmanuel Reynaud and renowned for their ageability, they have become some of the region's most sought-after.
